Improve Google Meet livestreaming experience with more insight on eCDN performance

Was sich ändert

In July 2024, we introduced Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN) support for Google Meet, which helps reduce live streaming bandwidth consumption to a fraction of the traffic volume. Today, we are announcing enhancements that will give admins greater insight to better optimize their eCDN configuration.

eCDN is deployed according to settings and rules configured by admins to control and optimize peering across their network topology. Beginning today, admins can turn on client debug logs in the Admin console to get detailed information and better understand how configurations affect the way clients use eCDN in different parts of their private network. This information includes:

Device status: information about the client’s current state.Network: information about the network assigned to the client (potentially through a custom rule configuration).Stats: performance information about how the client has used the eCDN such as transfer rates and peer connections.

Wer ist davon betroffen?

Admins

Warum Sie es verwenden sollten

Understanding how peering rules affect the way clients use eCDN is vital for achieving bandwidth savings targets. Access to detailed information lets administrators deploy eCDN faster across their subnets while all the time being able to monitor that their rules have the intended effect. Additionally, in cases where support is needed, the information contained in the debug logs helps with troubleshooting to resolve issues faster.
